Deeply moving

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, but was a little dismayed to realize how women are overlooked for their incredible capabilities. It was going on during her lifetime and continues today.
Absolutely fascinating book.

This is an exquisite book! The tender struggle in Yo-Yo Ma‘s life it’s very relatable. The music is an added benefit.
I go back to this book often when I need something to pick up my spirit or when I long for connection. Thank you, Yo-Yo Ma.

After a health scare, 77-year-old Barbara goes to convalesce in the sleepy Somerset village of Winsleigh Green with her sister, Pauline, who is now a widow.

I enjoyed this book immensely. The topic touch the button the role of an Asian American woman who overcame institutional barriers and defeat. She aspired to find her voice in her cultural context. Great story without stereotypic approach. She captured the essence of being who she was.

Historia
Set in the 1920s and 1930s, Honolulu explores the stark contrast between the image of the glamorous Hawaiian paradise portrayed to the mainland and the harsh reality of life on the island. With characters as vivid and richly descriptive as the history of Hawaii itself, this novel is sure to enthrall listeners.

Great historical fiction
Revisado: 08-22-22
I’m very impressed with the quality of the research for this book.the overwhelming dusnay is the fact that Sue narrator could not pronounce the words in Hawaiian correctly it was very distressing to listen to this excellent story and have the words incorrectly pronounced. I recommend that it be recorded to provide the authentic feel for the place. I am shocked that it was not picked up in the review before it was put out. I was unaware of the Korean experience and it
it is definitely a worthy story.

Historia
Miss Honaria Honeyford was sent to London to save the family fortune by hunting a wealthy husband - and being a loving (if not entirely dutiful) daughter, she obeyed. But if she was reluctantly willing to surrender her hand, this beautiful young lady who could ride, shoot, and argue with any man was not about to lose her head or heart to the dismal dandies of the Marriage Mart. First she met the arrogantly attractive Lord Alistair Stewart, who treated her infuriatingly like a little girl. And then she met the skillfully seductive Lord Channington, who treated her intoxicatingly like a desirable woman....
